The editor of the Delaoare College
Rerie'o pays very high compliment
to DIR. Raub and the teaching force
at the Academy as follows:
During the last two years but
one Or two (students) have been
admitted from the Academy" to the
College. Now inasmuch as there are
a number in the Academy who
could be admitted to College if thew
preferred, we think it is very high
praise for the Academy when these
students prefer to pay forty dollars
year each for instruction in that
institution when the College would
give them instruction free. The
editor complains that "the further
the Academy drifts from a classical
and art school towards a Normal
and English institution the less use
Will 1t be to our College" Inasmuch
as the College is of no earthly use to
the Academy we see no reason why
the Academy should try to make
itself of use to the College. The
course of study in the Academy
commends itself to the good iudg-
ment of every business man in the
community, and we hope DR.. Raub
will adhere to it, and continue to
prepare our young people for the
active works of life, leaving the pol
ish to be added later. 1t is of no
little Importance to lay the founda-
ton properly.

through as presented, and only bills
involving small amounts was the
pairing process" resorted to. Just
why the claims of newspapers
should have been so treated we can
not conceive. Surely no bills should
have received more generous consid-
Grafton than those presented by the
press. As it now stands, the State
of Delaware is indebted to the press
in various sums, and every editor
should feel that his ledger account
has begn badly mutilated.

The Effects of Mental Exhaustion.

Many diseases especially those Of the
nervous system, are the products Of daily
renewed mental exhaustion. Business
avocations often involve an amount Of
mental wear and tear very prejudicial to
physical health, and the professions, if
arduously pursued, are no less destruc-
tive to brain and nerve tissue 1t is
one Of the most important attributes Of
llostctter's stomach Btters, that it com
pensatcs for this dnduc loss oftissue, and
that it imparts new energy to the brain
and nerves. The rapidity with which it
renews weakened mental energy and
physical vitality is remarkable, and shows
that its invigoating properties are of the
highest order Besides increasing vital
stamina, and countcracting the effects of
mental exhaustion, this potential med
icinc cures and prevents fever and ague,
rhcumaism chronic dyspepsia and con-
stipation kidney and uterine weakness
and other complaints. Physicians also
commend it as a mcdicatcd stimutant and

THE Ere'y E'rening in recent
issue says that Showing ones own
horn seems to be the only successful
way OF getting along with speed"
The truth of the remark is very APP
parent. Every town that desires to
have new enterprises locate in it,
or to sell land, OF for any other pur-
pose, goes at the work by throwing
out invitations, in the way of induce
ments, broadcast. The result iusti-
flies the means employed, and in Il
very short time barren waste is
transformed into Il city of magnifi-
cent houses and richly endowed
with manufactures Of various kinds.
OF all the flaming advertisements
you read of the advantages of GER
tain localities, not one of them offer
as great natural and genuine advan-
tages as our own town. With rail
roads south, north, east and west,
passing the town, what more could
be asked in the way of transporta-
ton. 1t alone rests with those hold
ing property as to wether the induce
ments named will be offered. The
railroads will contribute their share
toward the project. This town
should gain an additional popula-
ton at the rate OF one thousand Il
year.
